Description

The County Hotel, located at 29 and 30 South Main Street in Wigtown, consists of early to earlier 19th century houses that have been raised to include an attic. These houses were merged and altered to form an inn, likely with the addition of a carriage pend in the late 19th century or early 20th century. The building is rendered with a painted base course, cills, and jambs.

To the left of the hotel, there is a segmental carriage pend that leads into the inn. The right side features a two-storey, three-bay house, with windows in the remaining bays and above. The taller two-storey house on the left has four windows on the ground floor, two on the first floor, and two gabled dormers that break the eaves to the attic. The windows are fitted with plate glass glazing in the sash and case style, while the ground floor windows to the left of the pend have multi-pane upper sashes. The taller section is covered with grey slates, while the tower has a rubberoid roof. There is a stack on the taller mutual gable. Unfortunately, there have been regrettable alterations to the rear of the building.
